What is Shakespeare studies?

Shakespeare Studies is an academic field focused on the life, works, and influence of William Shakespeare. It involves analyzing his plays, sonnets, and poems, as well as exploring the historical, cultural, and literary contexts in which he wrote. Scholars in this area may also study performance history, adaptations, and the impact of Shakespeare’s works on literature and the arts worldwide. Shakespeare Studies can be pursued as part of English literature, theatre, or cultural studies programs at universities.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Shakespeare studies scholar, and why are they important?

To excel in Shakespeare Studies, you need a strong background in English literature, critical analysis, and a deep understanding of Shakespearean texts, often supported by advanced degrees in literature or related fields. Familiarity with research databases, digital archives, and citation management tools is essential for scholarly work. Exceptional written communication, interpretative skills, and the ability to engage audiences through teaching or presentations set individuals apart in this field. These competencies are crucial for producing original research, fostering appreciation of Shakespeare’s works, and contributing to academic or educational environments.

What are some typical collaborative projects or initiatives for professionals in Shakespeare studies?

Professionals in Shakespeare Studies often participate in collaborative projects such as co-editing academic publications, organizing conferences, and partnering with theater companies to provide dramaturgical expertise. Collaboration may also involve interdisciplinary research with historians, linguists, or digital humanities scholars. These initiatives not only enrich academic research but also create opportunities to engage broader audiences through educational outreach and public lectures.

Industry UsageSpecialized focus on Shakespeare's works and eraBroader focus on various literary works and periods

Shakespeare Studies is a specialized field focusing on William Shakespeare's works, while a Literature Professor covers a wide range of literary topics. Both roles often require advanced degrees and are based in academic settings, but Shakespeare Studies offers a narrower focus on Shakespeare's contributions, whereas Literature Professors teach and research multiple authors and periods.

Internship Opportunities

In the summer of 2018, ASC's Education Department will offer internship opportunities, detailed below. The internships are designed to allow qualified undergraduate students to learn about Teaching Artistry and arts administration.  

Shakespeare Superheroes Internship: The Shakespeare Superheroes Intern will assist in several sessions of Shakespeare Superheroes, a summer camp designed to introduce elementary and middle school students to the language, stories, characters, and ideas in Shakespeare's plays in imaginative and playful ways. The Shakespeare Superheroes Intern will work in camp sessions from May 29-June 22 and from July 9-20. The Intern will assist ASC's professional Teaching Artists in leading theater games, teaching stage combat and dances, and helping students rehearse scenes from Romeo and Juliet and Two Gentlemen of Verona in preparation for a final performance for family and friends. Camp sessions will be located at the Decatur Friends Meeting House and at the Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse. When the Shakespeare Superheroes Intern is not in the classroom, he or she will complete administrative work in the Education Department, which will include completing projects relating to curriculum development, program production, sales, and fundraising. This position is full-time, Monday through Friday beginning on Thursday, May 24 and ending on Tuesday, July 31. The ideal candidate for this internship is a college undergraduate studying acting, directing, theatre, education, or English literature who has significant experience teaching performing arts to young children.

Shakespeare Intensive for Teens Internships: The two Shakespeare Intensive for Teens Interns will assist in Shakespeare Intensive for Teens (SIT), which is an audition-based student summer program for teenagers, who rehearse and perform a Shakespeare play and gain pre-professional training in performing Shakespeare. One SIT intern will work with the June session of SIT, which runs from May 29-June 25, and the other SIT Intern will work with the July session of SIT, which runs from July 1-July 30. Both sessions of SIT will be located at the Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse. When an SIT Intern is not in the classroom, he or she will complete administrative work in the Education Department, which will include completing projects relating to curriculum development, program production, sales, and fundraising. This position is full-time, Monday-Friday beginning on Thursday, May 24 and ending on Tuesday, July 31. The ideal candidates for the two SIT Internship positions are college undergraduates studying acting, directing, theatre, or theatre education who have substantial performance experience and experience educating children and teenagers. SIT Internship candidates should indicate in their letter of interest if they have skills in any of the following categories: other types of performance, clown work, dance, stage combat, costuming, and stage management.
